Innovation and continued advancements in scientific technology are required to meet the increasing food demands of a growing population while conserving natural resources and mitigating environmental risk. Agricultural biotechnology contributes to food security and further progress in sustainable agriculture through genetic traits that promote hardier crops with reduced inputs, drought resilience, pest resistance, increased nutritional value crops and greater yields. This presentation will discuss innovative seed-applied technologies that augment the genetics of the seed, complement seedling growth, and result in optimized harvestable yield for production agriculture while promoting resource efficiency, reducing environmental risks, and further supporting growers and a more sustainable food supply.
